Homo-epitaxial GaN growth on exact and misoriented single crystals: suppression of hillock formation

TLDR
In this paper, a model involving the interaction of steps, introduced by the misorientation, and the hexagonal hillocks during the growth process was proposed to explain the features that are still found on the 4° off-angle sample after growth.

The Growth of Crystals and the Equilibrium Structure of their Surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of growth of a surface containing dislocations is proportional to the square of the supersaturation for low values and to the first power for high values of the latter.

Determination of lattice polarity for growth of GaN bulk single crystals and epitaxial layers

TL;DR: In this article, the polarity of the lattice of bulk single GaN crystals and homoepitaxial and heteroencipitation on sapphire GaN thin films has been studied using convergent beam electron diffraction.

Chemical polishing of bulk and epitaxial GaN

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that removal of a few tenths of a micron from the surface are usually sufficient to polish out irregularities 200 nm in height, and when optimized mechano-chemical polishing is used, atomically flat surfaces of bulk GaN have been reproducibly obtained (RMS= 0.1nm), as measured by Atomic Force Microscopy.

Polarity of (00.1) GaN epilayers grown on a (00.1) sapphire

TL;DR: In this article, a simple etching technique is proposed for quick distinction of the epitaxial film polarity and the assignment of the etching behavior to the proper crystal structure is achieved by an analysis of the respective two-dimensional photoelectron diffraction patterns.
